Hi all.

First thanks for the compliments Tiago, if I'm better its mostly your fault.

Before dying, my Prey made a Golconda on a recently freed Rachel. Zedu decided lots of pool was better than Rachel + Victoria.
Everybody thought 30 min was little time and maybe Zedu thought that 1 VP would be enough, being top seed.

The thing is - the game went suddently from 5 to 3 player and each turn around the table took much less time.
After ousting Eliseu it was innevitable to oust Zedu.
5 or 6 minions Vs Victoria and Gregor Anderssen.
Zedu kept playing fast, even when time would give him Victory. A gentleman.


this was the most difficult decision I had to make in this final, at the time Eliseu played the Golconda I already had Gregor whit PRO and about 4/6 pool, Eliseu had 5/6 Minions ready to bleed, my hand only had one 2ºtradition so my only possible choice was to gain the pool and try to survive until the time ended. In that turn I was left whit 4/6 pool again so if I didn't had given up Rachel and gained 10 pool Eliseu would have made my VP. I belive that playing the Golconda on Rachel was a mistake because of that.

This was my best Portuguese National Championship so far, I made my 1º objective that was to qualify for the EC. and almost made the ultimate objective that was to win the final. I really enjoyed playing that day.

I would like to say special thanks to Adam Esbjörnsson for the help and advice he gave me when preparing to this deck for this tournament.

Who are the qualified players for the Continental Championship Events?

I thought that too when I first saw Tiago's report but then I noticed this:

Final Table:

Me (Ventrue Grinder)
Eliseu Ângelo (Kyasid Stealth n Bleed)
Ricardo Marta (Girls Will Find aids)
José "Zedú" Rodrigues (Rachel Brandywine)
André Catarino (G4 IC Counsil of Doom)

With "me" above being tthe winner (and event reporter) Tiago Brum.


Could've been way more visible for my tastes but the info was there...

Well, that and the fact that there were less than 21 players means all the finalists qualify.
But the organizer, if not participating, would also qualify, and I suppose that's what Jeff is looking for.

It is Nationals; all the finalists and just the finalists qualify regardless of the number of players.

But the organizer, if not participating, would also qualify, and I suppose that's what Jeff is looking for.

It was a Nationals; organizer of Nationals doesn't qualify.
Or did that change already?

Besides, I got the impression from Taigo's report that it was a tournament he organized.

Confirmation that he organized it can be found here:
